My first radio back into cb was a few years after my divorce and I was alone. Back in the late 90s & that was only a New Cobra 29 NW ST that I paid to much for at a truck stop. I didn't get to serious about it because of child support and mortgage. It wasn't until I retired in 2015 and paid the house off for the second time that I started buying SSB radios and getting more serious, plus joining forums to learn more as I went about Working On My Bucket List. What A Journey !!!
